In 1482 Thomas Rotherham founded the College of Jesus in Rotherham, which was both a School and a religious institution. In March 1482 he began to build a brick building to house his college, on the site of his birthplace in Brookgate, and provided an endowment to fund a Provost and three Fellows. The College was expropriated about 1550 by King Edward VI, but was later re-founded as Rotherham Grammar School, taking the foundation by Rotherham as its origin. The school occupied a number of buildings in Rotherham before moving into a former ministers' training college on Moorgate Road in 1890. In 1967, the local education authority introduced comprehensive education in Rotherham, and the school was closed. Its buildings became a coeducational sixth form college, known as Thomas Rotherham College, which retains the old grammar school's coat of arms in its logo.[1]

Notable pupils
Bishop Robert Sanderson (1587–1663), moderator of the 1661 Savoy Conference. Two of the prayers in the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer have often been attributed to Sanderson. These are the "general thanksgiving" and the "prayer for all conditions of men".[3]
